"Larry
Fessenden is one of the most original voices to
emerge in the
horror field and THE LAST WINTER is his most accomplished work to date.
He brings the Gothic trappings of the old classics to shocking new life."Guillermo
Del Toro (PAN'S LABYRINTH, HELLBOY)

"elegantly
restrained horror ... metaphorically resonant ... Feverishly Real, Terrifying.Larry Fessenden is among the most thoughtful Americans
working on the lower-budget end of this oft-abused and mindlessly corrupted
genre."Manohla Dargis,
THE NEW YORK TIMES

"Far
and away the scariest movie of the year - and certainly the smartest...What we don't know, what we don't want to know, what we
can't figure out in time;
these are the true demons stalking "The Last Winter.""Bob
Strauss, L.A. DAILY NEWS

"taps
into a collective dread compounded by the guilt of our complicity.
The scrappy, familiar banality of Fessenden's vision -- the base camp
is a dump,
the crew unglamorous, their mission compromised -- only amps up the visceral
dread."Carina
Chocano, LOS ANGELES TIMES

"a
damn fine looking movie...striking and moody...
for those who like their horror to play with ideas and embrace
the ambiguous, THE LAST WINTER is a small gem"Moriarty,AINT

"mercilessly
tightens the screws...develops an eerie intensity that builds to a boil and doesn’t
let up for the entire last act."Michael Gingold,
FANGORIA

“a somber horror film with a dour ending and social
message that, over time, may prove
to be closer to non-fiction drama than humanity might appreciate
— a welcome entry into the enviro-horror cannon.”Trevor Tuminski, RUE MORGUE

"Tense
and Exciting!The film's real power comes from its building sense that
something really, really bad is about to happen...to all of us."Andrew
O'Hehir, SALON

"Astonishing.
"... high-concept and low-budget, abstraction and
immediacy, the shopworn and the visionary ..."Adam Nayman, CINEMASCOPE

"The
Last Winter blends science fiction with the supernatural
in a way that has rarely worked in films before—what binds these two
disparate approaches
is Fessenden's sense of the poetic."Michael Marano, SCI-FI WEEKLY

"while
the movie's too genre-bound to climb into the cherry-picker with Al Gore,
it hints at a coming B-movie apocalypse: a rough beast freed by rising temperatures
and only now slouching home. In "The Last Winter," we meet the alien
and the alien is us."Ty
Burr, THE BOSTON GLOBE

"Larry
Fessenden is a self-confessed horror filmmaker, and not only perhaps the greatest
one working today
—but also the most pointedly political, emotionally invested, and unguardedly
honest."Andrew

"The
horror genre would do right by embracing Fessenden,
a genuine heir to the throne built by the likes of Whale, Romero, and Cohen."Collin
